Installation on Windows with npm

[SamuelTilly]

Summary

When installing prek with npm the binary is not extracted properly on Windows. I believe the PowerShell command is not working as intended in binary-install.js. Windows should have support for extracting the zip file with tar similar to Linux:

spawnSync("tar", ["-xf", tempFile, "-C", this.installDirectory]);
